My name is Jim. I am a fellow patient, not a doctor. I'm 55
years old but I have the skin of a teenager. My skin is very oily and I have
been prone to persistent acne breakouts for the past forty years. I discussed this with
my dermatologist, Dr. Marc E. Grossman of White Plains, NY, and he
recommended a course of low-dose Accutane (isotretinoin). I could find
nothing on the internet about the use of low-dose isotretinoin by older
patients. Isotretinoin is typically prescribed for people half my age as a
last resort for severe, chronic acne. I have decided to document my
experience and you can about read my ongoing Accutane story here.

November 7, 2011. The saga begins. This page will be updated
soon.

I am happy to provide this
